Bottomless Brunch Birmingham at Lulu Wild: The Full Guide
Bottomless Brunch Birmingham at Lulu Wild: The Full Guide
Blog Article
For most of Birmingham, bottomless brunch still means eggs, a short stack and a Bloody Mary on the side. At Lulu Wild, we've taken a different route. Think Chinese plates, 90 minutes of top-ups and a price of £45 per person. This guide covers how it all works, what's on the menu, whether it's worth the money, which day to pick and how to find us.

Bottomless brunch, the Lulu Wild way
Our home is a canal-side spot in Brindleyplace, next door to Sea Life, where we run a Chinese kitchen and a cocktail bar. Everything on the brunch menu comes from the kitchen that makes our dim sum and wok cooking all week. In short, you swap the full English for two courses of Chinese food and bottomless drinks.
Neon lights the room, and a proper cocktail bar sits at the heart of it. It feels more like a night out that happens to start at lunchtime.
Who our brunch suits
It's a good fit for friends catching up after a long week. For two people celebrating a birthday or anniversary, it's an easy booking. For a team from work, nobody has to split a complicated bill. With venues so close, it's easy to brunch before an evening show.
Why there are no pancakes here
Birmingham has no shortage of boozy brunches, and plenty of them follow the same script. Toast, eggs and a cocktail, then the identical plate somewhere new. We wanted ours to taste like the rest of our menu.
Because our chefs cook Chinese food every day, nothing on the brunch menu is an afterthought. The fun bits remain the same, with full glasses and no rush to be anywhere. The food is just a lot more interesting.
Your sitting, explained
It's all very simple. Here's how a typical sitting goes:
- Pick your sitting. We run sittings from 12pm across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm the latest start.
- Choose a drinks package. Pick between the Wild Brunch and the Champagne Upgrade, keeping in mind one package covers the table.
- Choose a starter and a main. Each main comes with a rice bowl shared between two.
- Enjoy your 90 minutes. From the moment you take your seat, the glasses stay topped up for the full sitting.
An hour and a half is enough to eat properly and enjoy several drinks, with time left for plans later. Want to keep going? The bar stays open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The food, briefly
We keep the list tight, which makes choosing quick. You pick one starter and one main each.
Starters: Crispy Chilli Wings, Bang Bang Chicken Salad, Aromatic Crispy Duck Roll, Crispy Lotus Salad (vegan) and Shiitake & Shimeji Mushroom Truffle Spring Roll (vegan).
Second course: Stir-Fry Tender Chicken in Preserved Black Bean Sauce; Sanpei Chicken, based on Taiwanese "three cup" chicken; Spicy King Prawn (gluten-free); Stir-Fry Black Pepper Vegetarian Chicken (vegetarian); Pomegranate Sweet & Sour Pork; and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu (vegan, gluten-free).
Extra sides like tenderstem broccoli, pak choi with garlic and egg fried rice are charged separately, priced between £3.50 and £6.00. We also offer rice upgrades, priced from +£1 for egg fried rice to +£4.50 for stir-fried shredded chicken noodles.
If you're vegan, you'll find two starters and a main, plus a vegetarian main for veggies. Spicy King Prawn and Stir-Fry Spicy Tofu are both gluten-free.
Please mention any allergies when booking, giving our kitchen time to prepare.
The drinks packages
Wild Brunch at £45
The standard deal pairs your two courses with 90 minutes of bottomless Prosecco, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and mocktails. Switching between Prosecco and a couple of cocktails keeps the sitting interesting.
You'll spot lychee across our cocktail menu, so a Lychee Martini on brunch made sense. First-timers usually find it a nice change from the Pornstar Martini.
The Champagne Upgrade, +£9.95
Add £9.95 per person and we'll pour unlimited Champagne and rosé Prosecco too. If the day calls for a proper toast, this is the one.
Options for non-drinkers
We're happy to swap the Prosecco package for mocktails and soft drinks for anyone who isn't drinking. There's a Virgin Pornstar Martini and a Virgin Lychee Martini on our alcohol-free list too.
The table rule
We can't mix packages on a single table. If your group can't agree on Champagne, settle it before the day.
Working out the value
Let's do the arithmetic. Order two Pornstar Martinis from our usual list at £14 each and you've spent £28 without a starter in sight. The brunch price of £45 includes both courses and an hour and a half of bottomless drinks.
Anyone expecting to drink more than two cocktails will find brunch the better deal. For a quieter bite and a single glass, have a look at our lunch menu instead. An optional 12.5% service charge is added at the end, so factor that in.
How does the upgrade stack up? With the upgrade, you're paying £54.95 a head in total. If your group was always going to want Champagne, it's well worth adding.
Sides and rice upgrades sit outside the £45, so add those on if your table is hungry.
Which day should you book?
Every Saturday sitting has a DJ, so it's the loudest of the three. It's the one to pick if you want brunch to feel like a celebration.
Fridays and Sundays are more relaxed, which suits a catch-up. A Friday sitting gets the weekend going, and a Sunday one stretches out nicely.
Because Saturday is usually first to fill, don't leave it late.
Don't forget to think about which sitting you want. An early sitting from 12pm means you're done with plenty of the day left. A 4pm start leads straight into the evening, which works well on Fridays and Saturdays when we're open until 2am.
Tips for your first brunch
- Don't be late. The clock is set, so turning up late just means less brunch.
- Don't skip the starter. You'll feel much better later if you eat near the start.
- Pace yourself with water. A glass between rounds goes a long way.
- Agree the package early. The table has to match, so make the call together a few days ahead of time.
- Book your ride first. Look up trains or arrange a taxi before the drinks start.
We'd ask everyone to drink responsibly. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and get home in one piece.
Bringing a group
With one price per head, organising a group gets a lot easier. For larger groups we have two private spaces, The Nest and The Hideout, and our events team will help with decorations, plus a cake if agreed beforehand. Details are on our private events page.
Getting here
We're at Unit 7 & 8 The Waters Edge, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HP, beside the Sea Life Centre and just off the canal.
- Broad Street: a two-minute walk away.
- Utilita Arena: a five-minute stroll by the water.
- Birmingham New Street station: a walk of around ten minutes.
- Gas Street Basin and the ICC: a few minutes down the towpath.
The nearest car park is Q-Park Brindleyplace, roughly two minutes from our door. Honestly, with unlimited Prosecco on the table, we'd leave the car at home.
New Street is roughly a ten-minute walk, and once you reach Broad Street we're about two minutes off. If you're already by the water, follow the towpath from Gas Street Basin or the ICC.
Brunch before a show
Utilita Arena, the ICC and Symphony Hall are all a short walk from us. A lunchtime sitting leaves room to breathe before the curtain goes up. For something quicker, closer to start time, we also do a pre-show menu.
Not ready to leave?
When the timer stops, the afternoon doesn't have to. The bar serves until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 2am at the weekend.
Signature serves come with dry ice and use flavours from the kitchen, such as yuzu, lychee, elderflower and rhubarb. Look out for the Fortune Cookie at £13.50, the China Silk at £13.25 and the Lucky Dragon at £12.75. Everything else is listed on our cocktail page.
The rest of our menu
Brunch is a small slice of our menu. In-house dim sum is a big part of our kitchen, whether steamed, pan-fried or baked. Our full food menu includes aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics, plus vegan and vegetarian dishes. Brunch is a good first taste, and dinner is the next step.
Our charity partner for 2026/2027 is Birmingham Dogs Home, and we're really pleased to be backing the work they do.
December at Lulu Wild
For the whole of December, brunch is on daily. It suits office parties, family get-togethers and a breather from the shops. The only closures are Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Vouchers from £25 make an easy present.
